After feeling pretty good for the last 4 days, virtually pain free, I decided to give my Thursday summer league one more shot. I bowled tonight with no pain. This is only the 2nd time I've bowled in about 5 weeks, but I didn't do terrible. I shot 174-192-199 for a 565 series. Hopefully I will remain pain free for the rest of the summer. I'm too dedicated to bowling. I had to try one more time. I'll keep everyone posted.

Well, I bowled last Thursday and my back and hip pain returned. I shot 186-163-144 for a whopping 493 series. I went to the doctor on Monday and he says that it's muscular or a pinched nerve. Feels more muscular than anything though. I've improved quite a bit over the past week, but I want to give it the next 4 or 5 to see how I am. My first fall league starts on August 20th, so hopefully I will be ready by then. We'll see. Hope everyone kicks some butt for the rest of the summer. I'll be ready for this fall.

I made my return to the lanes last night. Overall, not a bad night. The first two games were great, then I kind of fell apart in the last game. I had a couple of light hits for splits and missed a ten pin. I shot 246-234-158 for a 638 series. I raised my average up on 203 on Monday night. I look forward to getting my average back up on Thursday night. I'll keep everyone informed on how it's going.

For the past 3 bowling nights, I've been having some issues with my back and right hip. I've decided to take a couple of weeks off, rest and see how it pans out. I'm down to 190 on Thursday night and 202 on Monday night. I'll update on my condition.

I ripped it up tonight. Shot 203-246-236 for a 685 series, my high of the summer. I brought my average up to 208 in the Monday league after 3 weeks. The 246 was my high game in this league and the 685 was my high series. My goal is 210. We'll see if I can keep it rolling.
